DihAoine

sm Friday. DihAoine gu fàs 's DiMàirt gu buain, ach obair a thòisicheas DiLuain bidh i luath no bidh i mall, on Friday sow and mow on Tuesday, but the work begun on Monday will be either quick or slow. Monday, being the first free day of the week, gives a good chance for getting on with work, but if one relies too much on having abundance of time, the work will probably be put off. DihAoine seo chaidh, last Friday; DihAoine seo tighinn, next Friday, “Friday first.” Though Friday has always been held an unlucky day in various Christian countries and even among such people as the Brahmins, still in the Hebrides it is suppossed to the the lucky day for sowing the seed in the ground. Good Friday in particular is a favourite day for potato planting — even strict Catholics make a point of planting a bucketful on that day. Probably the idea is, that as the Resurrection followed the Crucifixion and Burial, so too in the case of the seed, that after death will come life.
